Announcing the NetMore Public Coverage and LoRaWAN Server
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest product, the NetMore Public Coverage and LoRaWAN Server. This addition to our portfolio is designed to simplify and enhance the deployment of IoT solutions by providing a robust public LoRaWAN network server.
Understanding Our LoRaWAN Server Offerings
In our existing portfolio, we offer private LoRaWAN servers in two distinct styles, each with flexible pricing methods:
1. Self-Hosted Private LoRaWAN Server
- Requirements: Purchase and deploy a gateway, purchase a LoRaWAN network server instance, host and maintain the instance.
- Benefits: Potentially more profitable over time due to lower ongoing costs.
- Considerations: Higher upfront costs, need for skilled employees to manage the server, and additional hosting costs.
- Pricing: Choose between a per gateway charge or a per sensor charge.
2. Managed Private LoRaWAN Server
- Requirements: Purchase and deploy a gateway.
- Benefits: Alliot hosts and maintains the network server, relieving your team of the technical burden.
- Considerations: Incurs a monthly fee for hosting and maintenance services.
- Pricing: Flexible per gateway or per sensor models.
Introducing NetMore Public Coverage
Our new product aims to lower the barriers to entry. Billed on a per sensor model annually, it is the most cost-effective option for rapid IoT deployments.
| Advantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Extensive Coverage | Large footprint in the UK and Ireland; often eliminates the need to buy your own gateway. |
| Cost Savings | No instance purchase required; lower monthly costs than private servers. |
| Simplified Setup | Reduces complexity by removing the need to maintain private infrastructure. |
| Shared Costs | Sensor attachment costs are significantly lower due to the shared public domain model. |
Proven Success: The Yorkshire Water Case Study
NetMore is already delivering large-scale results, specifically within the utility sector:
- 1.3 Million Meters: Selected to exchange and manage water meters across the Yorkshire region.
- Data-as-a-Service: Meters connect to the LoRaWAN network to provide real-time insights.
- Leakage Reduction: Already helped deliver 500,000 liters of leakage reduction since 2022.
- Long-term Security: Initial 5-year contract with data services secured until 2045.
Security & Privacy
LoRaWAN is secure by design. While the server is public, it is a tenanted system. Your data is isolated, encrypted, and only accessible via your specific login credentials.
Which Solution is Right for You?
For those who want total control and have internal technical resources.
For those who want private infrastructure without the maintenance headache.
Best for cost-effective, easy-to-deploy solutions using existing coverage.
